By Rotary Club of Indianapolis on October 14, 2021
Join us Tuesday to hear from Blake Jones the Co-Founder and President of West Fork Whiskey. West Fork Whiskey was founded in 2015, and they distill and produce craft whiskeys using ingredients that are entirely sourced in Indiana. Blake Jones earned his Bachelor of Science in Public Finance at Indiana University in Bloomington. Following undergrad, he received his Master of Business Administration from Butler University in 2017. He left the corporate banking world to start West Fork Whiskey with childhood friend, David McIntyre, and brother, Julian Jones, with the mission to create approachable, affordable craft whiskey while paying homage to Indiana’s rich distilling heritage. The brand’s award-winning products are now available in retail locations across 10 states with further plans to expand. West Fork recently broke ground on its next phase – a 35,000 square-foot agritourism facility in Westfield, Indiana. All are welcome at Rotary programs.
